They came to him and found him sitting under a great tree. In five minutes he had shot them all. I do not believe Gordon ever gave him the order to do such an act, for Gordon is a strangely merciful man. He can not speak our lan- guage, and so is often apt to get wrong im- piesei me, but I do not think he would have shot my son without henring him. HOWOVer, that is a thing of the past.

If he loacs hiellile it will be the fault of your . policy in attacking the rebels at Suakim. The news has now passed from mouth to mouth through the length and breadth of Suuden, that the English are coming with tile and swurd to destroy the Arabs. Of what use is it that Gordon proclaims peace whilst you carry on war? I think I could have settled the whole question at Suakim Without fixing a shot. I know all these people, and they know me. I would have gone to 0 man Digina and soon have ,per- suaded him to cease war. as I shall go to ()heid to the Mahdi as a friend if I am sent now to Khartoum.
